HtVAnon fresh from another session. Offscreen, one of our Slashers, Jao Saao has evolved from a Ripper to a Scourge. As an Avenger who kills abusive men, she has killed enough and gained enough infamy that social memetic magic now dictates much of her existence. The PCs were intrigued to note that everybody in town seemed to be talking about her, despite her being inactive for several weeks at this point. No killings, no crime scenes, no nothing. So why is everyone talking about her? They visited a womens support group, where she'd been known to hunt for victims, and found instead women supporting oneanother in grief. Several of the people there maintained their murdered partners innocence, while some others were slightly more conflicted in their relationships and feelings. This meeting was gatecrashed by another relation to a victim, Jao Saao's first kill as a Slasher. Pic related. She went off on a rant about how every woman there was now free, thanks to divine intervention on behalf of this mysterious guardian angel. The PCs eventually tailed her home for several days, and ascertained that she doesn't seem to have any direct contact with the Slasher. She's just a bit mad, and a huge fan. While this is happening, Halloween is slowly approaching. Kids and Teenagers around town are dressing in costumes far earlier than normal, and many of these outfits seemed to be based on the real Slashers in town. The PCs got the address of the guy selling these outfits and paid him a visit. He recognised one of the PCs from a newspaper clipping, and offered to pay her for information on Jao Saao to make more authentic masks. She punched him in the jaw and left.

>>97390241 Meanwhile, Steward, our resident homeless Union hero, was spreading rumours that Jao Saao's hammer had been spotted being used by a homeless guy near the old animal pound outside of town. A previous crime scene, it was abandoned after the Bodybagger drove a bin-lorry into the front of the building. The PCs planned to bait the area and ambush Jao Saao. The PCs had noted in a previous encounter at the nightclub that she was obsessively devoted to it, and became visibly distressed when disarmed and separated from it. They were unsure if she had a magical connection to the hammer, or if a decoy would do. In the end, they settled on a decoy. Lenny trapped the building with bear traps and set torches up, and the group sat and waited. After midnight, Jao Saao arrived to claim her hammer. Steward made a convincing play of wandering about holding the decoy, pretending not to notice her and retreating inside the building, luring her into the trap. Blinded by a need for her beloved hammer, she walked right into the trap. Two shotgun blasts, two rifle shots and a longsword slash ended her with absolutely zero retaliation. It was almost anticlimactic on my end, but the PCs used their knowledge and set a perfect trap. It was incharacter for her to blunder straight into it, and that's what happened. Only Steward noticed a figure watching from a nearby field, as the group loaded her body into her car and split up. The body was taken to the morgue where Minayo works, marked as a Jane Doe and signed off immediately. All in all, the session was a lot of fun. Next session will be halloween, the Changeling will be properly introduced and some conflicts of interest will arise. At the end of the session, Lenny's Player asked if I was familiar with Skindancers from oWoD. He mentioned that once they catch his Werewolf quarry, Lenny might feel it appropriate as an honorific to bathe Duncan in the blood of his father's killer. Which sounds like fun for the whole family.
How would an Archmage compare with a high level Lost about to become a True Fae? How does the flavor of their abilities differ?
>''Sorry Wepauwet, you can't be a woof and a mummy, even though that would help in the war against the wyrm immensely, because cheating death is DEGENERATE and AGAINST GAIA. I'm feeling nice today so I won't outright kill you, but when you die you're gonna be FUCKED FOREVER!>Meanwhile the Bubasti (also in ancient egypt)...
>>97390375>fuck up and get sent to the grandma dimensionOwl is a dick however, like every spirit. He was just afraid of the Werewolf starting a harem and supplanting him with Osiris or something.
How difficult would it be to create a character like Queen Marika from Elden Ring in the cofd? Could the concept work as a Prometean or Geist? Or should she be a Mage/Changeling?
>>97390453What about her do you want to convey? She lead a genocidal crusade and became a pawn for a celestial being, the chickens came home to roost and it all went to shit. We don't actually know all that much about her as a person.
>>97390462She seems like she could be a good npc to assign quests to players. But I'm not sure how difficult it would be to give her traits and what supernatural splat would fit her.
>>97390453Why don't you try going one single thread without an inane "X in WoD???" post
>>97390469She's more of a framing device for a plot rather than a character herself really. Everything happens around her really. All of her bad decisions and prejudices come back to make a mess of her life, that's not unique to any splat. As far as powers that she has, all we really know is that she committed selfcest with an alternate personality and body of herself.
>>97390501Sounds like something a Promethean would do. Galatea. Or a Lost more than a Mage.>>97390453What are the limits of her abilities, anon?
>>97390469Probably Gentry or some other high level plot device character. She's sort of a freaky immortal powerful Rebis
>>97390462She didnt become a pawn. Shes just a very naughty jar that whored its way to godhood & when it couldnt go any further she flipped the table
>>97390375I must post that meme an anon made about Owl and Mummy Werewolves again.
>>97390375>Spirits being dicks and shooting themselves and everyone else in the foot Nothing new
>>97390375>>97390432>>97390675Sad that they can just usurp their powers
>>97390698>>97390703So why are spirits borderline self-defeating in werewolf?
>>97390717
>>97390717Because the vast majority aren't technically fully sapient creatures with actual free will. They're more like hyper-complex AI, intelligent beings fully defined by one specific purpose and no ability to go against it.Owl can be extremely powerful and "Want" to help the silent striders, but the things the silent striders need to survive are things Owl can't provide without violating the rules Owl operates by.To make things more complicated, most spirits can't even comprehend that they're actually limited or that the things they can't do are good or necessary in any way. Owl may not be able to do the things the silent striders need, but Owl also can't understand how that's bad, because obviously the things Owl can't do/provide must bad bad/wrong in some way.
>>9739071799% of spirits are retarded because they're small & lack scope & understanding. They literally can comprehend things outside of their purview, & the other 1% are haughty assholes who are hide outdoors traditionalists
>>97390717Turbo autism, basically
I'm pretty sure my game is resuming a week from Monday. Gotta kill this big fucking Bane
>>97390730This image does something to my brain, ever since Drive.>>97390743>>97390745>>97390958What I'm hearing is either Gaia failed way before she made the Garou, or something something Caine must have made the spirits retarded when he murdered his brother.
>>97390241>>97390297Good post as always HtVAnon, thank you. Lenny wants to turn into a Werewolf essentially? How is that going to pan out?>>97390968Cool, good luck. Have you played since the last post about the Ahroun elder missing?
>>97391037I haven't played since the end of November because most of our group is dealing with peak shipping season. We just got done with six day work weeks.the missing Elder happened before we even took this mission, our sept doesn't have a ton of manpower but there are more experienced Garou trying to get leads on it atm while we clear out taint
>>97391025Gaia was retarded herself or made all the spirits retarded as a joke.
>>97391025There was no failure. Spirits do what they do because that's what they are. You wouldn't consider a hammer to be a bad hammer just because it can't do precision surgery. Asking a spirit to betray their nature is like asking rain to fall up. Even if that would somehow help the rain worshippers it can't do that, because if it falls up it's not longer rain.
I wonder, in order to update the Technocracy to the current era, what would have to change? For one I think it wouldn't be proper to call it a Union since its not socialist enough anymore. Maybe the Technocratic Syndicate/Corporation?Also I assume New World Order would focus more on memetic warfare and weaponize influencers? The Syndicate would be based around stuff like blockchain and be the Convention most likely to defect the Technocracy and join the Traditions due to their new rebel nature and Startup founders (going the Virtual Adepts way?)I also think maybe Iteration X would be more powerful than when Ascension was first released. Void Engineers would definitely have Elon and SpaceX I guess?What other changes would you introduce, anon? More cyberpunk stuff?
